### **Part 1: What are Keywords**

Keywords are a type of metadata attached to media. Users are able to use keywords to search for images easier.

We recommend avoiding keywords such as years or Page/Album names, as these are already searchable through the media breadcrumb trail, including details like Year, Category, Page, and Album.
